There are many ways to play this game for own enjoyment.

Some prefer it to be more relaxing, so would tank every other season for CL & Cup, then also league for the following. Practically using 2 seasons’ resources to spend in 1, so more likely to be ‘easier’.

Some may want to save time by buying a monthly card, so can buy a scout player and also get auction players with more T with less time.

And a lot could be paying nothing at all, while trying to learn how to build a decent squad gradually over the first 4-5 seasons (lots of hard work and time on auctions initially when fund is tight), and learn how to manipulate the draw to an ‘adjusted’ level where we could: 1) win all the trophies; 2) successfully involved in a platinum association; 3) maybe also establish some proud unbeaten and goalscoring records along the way.

Top eleven is still around after years and not many other very similar alternative could overtake its position, so they should be doing something right to draw in the players and also making enough money from a minority group of players. It is very true that the game should be so, so much better if it takes in most of the useful suggestions, but then it would also be an unknown if Nordeus can also make the same business returns when they make those changes.
